Q. 10. Will God suffer such disobedience and rebellion to go unpunished?

Question. Will God suffer such disobedience and rebellion to go unpunished?

Answer. By no means, but is terribly displeased with our original (Eph. 2;3), as well as actual sins (Ps. 7;11); and will punish them in his just judgment temporally (Gen. 19;24), and eternally (Heb. 9;27); as he hath declared, “Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them” (Gal. 3;10).
